South have just about secured a finals sport while West season has just about flatlined.  Will West show some signs of life, or will South lock in that finals spot?

South have too much to play for despite Westies' impressive home form, South by 5 goals

Panthers to win by 4 to 5 goals

An improved season, and recently 2 good wins over Port and The Eagles will mean nothing if we go down in this one..
Panthers by 48 points.

South to win the next two and sneak the double chance.

South by 11

You'd think South should be favourites here. As they are far more settled and their form is superior. West can hang on their form at home, which has been pretty good, it's Birssy's last game and Jesse Watchman debuts.

It will come down to whether West will awake from their slump and approach the game with confidence.

West by 1 point.

South too good with a finals spot there aim.

Expec Westies to have a better dip this weekend, but think South should be too good. Panthers 11-20.

Plenty of people write West Adelaide off at their peril, they are a formidable side at their home ground at the best of times and I suspect they will come back stinging this week. All the ingredients for a great game of footy. South by 3pts.

Really hope the boys get up for two legends of the club. One is a legend in her own who passed away and the other is Birssy

South did what they had to do this afternoon and did it well.

Now that we have secured a spot in the finals, we can now put the next stage of our plan into action over the ensuing next 4 weeks.

Panthers, on the prowl.

Great away win for the Panthers, winning at Richmond was never going to be an easy task and it wasn't pretty, yet we came away with the points when it mattered.

Well done to the Panthers on a good win and had they been on target the margin would have been greater against a very depleted Bloods team--good luck to them in the finals.
